Now i see. Thanks for clearing it out.

Doing w/o a diff, i don't have a sane mail environment now to send it inline.
There's few more things.
First: you forgot to add MODULE_CLASS_LUA_BINDING to a
sys/sys/module.h.
Second: kernel side Lua will reject to load bytecode produced by luac cause
the first built FPless. A simple solution is to build luac and liblua feeded
with FPless luaconf.h and put them under different names. Maybe a more
elegant solution is possible?
